We started by filtering out hair and eye colours. Once we had that shortlist we looked at their pictures to see if we felt they suited what we wanted on that front (we wanted a donor that didn't have any stand out features). Then once we had narrowed it down to there, we checked his medical history and if that was okay with us then we would look at his family's medical history. We then created another shortlist and then went by their essays and reason for wanting to donate. We wanted to chose someone that had similar values and beliefs as us and also someone of a similar nature and the essay was able to give us a glimpse of his personality.

Ultimately it was a combination of all of those things that led us to our donor.

DD looks exactly like DW and her brothers kids so we made a good choice

We have only shown my mum and sister a picture of the donor but nobody else has seen him so nobody got the chance to comment but even if they did it wouldn't have swayed us. You are making this baby so don't worry about what others think. At the end of the day the donor will be forgotten by others anyway.

Our list was narrowed down by hair/eye colour (we wanted a donor similar colouring to us so either of us could take the babies out without getting that "look"). Then we looked at photos. Then we looked at their medical history, followed by donor essay/personality quiz.

Our donor was our second preference (only due to having some allergies) but the perfect choice. Our babies look like they could be genetically either of ours! In fact, our neighbours thought that DP carried DS. IMG_1486761077.011970.jpg

Definitely do your research before you choose a FS. We've found FF to be efficient, caring and just wonderful in comparison to the larger clinics. We would definitely recommend people to see the Dr at FF over a clinic like IVFA. Good luck!

And we found exactly the opposite. FF treated us like numbers and didn't appear to actually care about anything but money. IVFA were absolutely fantastic, took their time to explain everything and never, ever rushed us or made us feel stupid if we had questions.

It is personal preference but we know a lot of people who are very unhappy with FF now
